Where can one junk a boat?
One of my co-workers has a small fiberglass boat with an engine that doesn't work and he asked me about getting rid of it this morning. Any ideas/solutions? It doesn't work like a car I doubt. I didn't know so I thought I would go to one of my favorite resources, here.

Put it on the front lawn with a sign that says "FREE"....it'll go.
A friend of mine junked his at the local dump but that costs....I'd give the free thing a try

Tell him to do a search online. There are places where you can donate a boat, just like a car. There is a place on route 1 in Wrentham where you can donate. They then sell them for cheap money that goes to a good cause.

If he puts it on Craigslist, it will probably be gone pretty quickly. I get rid of lots of junk that way. People will take anything if it's free, even if it's totally unusable. |

If the free in your front yard thing doesnt work you could try putting a for sale 100$s and see if anyone steals it.
